Research on 13 automotive exhaust system manufacturers, 3 substrate manufacturers and 7 catalyst manufacturers. In 2009, the average price for the exhaust system of each gasoline engine-powered vehicle reached approximately USD250. In 2017, Europe will begin to put Euro 6C standard into effect while China may implement Euro 6A standard for gasoline vehicles. China's diesel engine-driven vehicle exhaust system market may continue to be disappointing.

As early as May 2005, the Chinese government announced the national IV standard would come into effect on January 1, 2011, which was delayed for 5 times. It was on January 1, 2015 that the standard was put into effect. But in 2015, with China's economic downturn and declined commercial vehicle sales volume, the competition from commercial vehicles boils down to price competition. The national IV standard will be not implemented at all and therefore most vehicles will still take national III standard.

In 2014, the sales volume of trucks in China totaled 3.18 million units in 2014, down 8.9% year on year. EGR. However, China now lacks special gas stations that can fill urea and will not have. The operating costs of trucks are extremely high and truck owners can only get low profits, thus forcing them into bringing down costs. Hence, they are reluctant to fill urea.

Meanwhile, out of a motive of environmental protection, very few trucker owners choose to buy the national IV standard vehicles. The upstream sectors of automotive exhaust system, substrate and catalyst in particular, are the most profitable. With regard to catalyst, the market size of automotive catalyst reached as much as USD11.7 billion in 2014, up 8.0% from 2013. The total market share of the top three manufacturers exceeded 80%, with the competition mainly concentrated in China. The top three players—BASF, Johnson Matthey, and Umicore successively extended their presence into mainland China.

Automotive relay, an important electronic component among automotive parts, finds widespread application in starting, preheating, cooling, fan, air-conditioning, lighting, electronic injection, oil pump, and other control systems.

Speaking of torque, the Ford 3.0L has 250 horsepower, 440 lp.-ft torque. What will surprise many is that the EcoBoost 3.5L has 375 horsepower and 470 lb.ft torque. Does this mean the EcoBoost is more fun going up a mountain, Probably not. By all accounts, the EcoBoost would likely lose power, where the diesel would not.

Best In Class Payload, Ford claims the new 2018 Ford F-150 with the 3.0L diesel offers, “best in class” payload. A quick check of Ford’s own website and 3.5L EcoBoost information seems to refute this statement. Perhaps by “best in class” they mean best in the half-ton diesel category, For the sake of argument, I focused on Ford F-150, Super Crew (Crew Cab), 4×4, 156-8-inch Wheelbase (6-foot short beds) with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6.



On Ford’s own website, this truck offers 2,870 pounds of payload. To be fair, this requires Ford’s Heavy Duty Payload Package with 18-inch wheels - but that’s not exactly a big concession. This article represents our first impressions of what Ford is presenting. We have not seen a 2018 Ford F-150 in person, nor have we had the opportunity to evaluate the truck beyond Ford’s press release and photography.
